Between working some rough hours and living in an inconvenient location I do about 90% of my non-grocery shopping online. Usually this works out all right for me but this past month I’ve had:
[ul]
[li]One dead video game disk. That was immediately replaced by the sender.[/li][li]Another game which never was delivered and the seller has been avoiding. At this point I’ve been promised a refund, something which takes only a moment in Amazon marketplace, that has still not been performed.[/li][li]I received the completely wrong book from one seller. They sent a new copy. Then over a week later I got a second copy of the correct book from them.[/li][li]Another seller provided the wrong book. They didn’t have a copy of the book I ordered.[/li][li]One seller took thirteen days between the point I ordered and the point they shipped. I was about to ask about the status of the order when I received notification that they had finally shipped it. Adding insult to injury they took thirteen days to process the order and then sent it media mail.[/li][/ul]
And that doesn’t even get into an order from just over a month ago where someone was gluing RFID tags in the middle of pages inside the book. Or how it took days for paypal to reject payment on a hardware order I was arranging for someone (not my account fortunately but it’s my headache).
I’ve never had problems like this before and this past month it’s just been ugly.
